Publisher's Synopsis
Updated with the latest information on enrollments, tuition and fees, academic programs, campus environment, available financial aid, and much more, the brand-new edition of Profiles of American Colleges presents information on more than 1,650 accredited four-year colleges across the United States. A CD-ROM is enclosed with each copy of this comprehensive directory. The software is set up in an interactive format that allows students to ask specific questions about individual colleges. In addition to the above-cited information, each college profile gives details on admission requirements, library and computer facilities, athletic facilities, extracurricular activities, e-mail addresses, fax numbers, web sites, and more. Schools are rated according to Barron's well-known competitiveness scale, from "Noncompetitive" to "Most Competitive." An extra section of tinted pages presents a complete, quick-reference Index of College Majors - listing all available major study programs at each school. Also profiled are many of the best-known colleges in Canada and several other countries.
